Huh? Ever hear of self defense? Too bad for her she hit someone twice her size.

"Self defense" implies the use of an appropriate level of force to prevent damage to self. She slaps the top of his head as they are carrying her off, and a man twice her weight punches her full-force in the face. Grossly disproportionate.

Maybe she won't do that again. Drunkenness is not it's own excuse.

Exactly.

When evaluating a use of force, all factors are taken into consideration. Including the size and weight of both the Officer and the subject. The number of Officers in the altercation, the number of non-combatants in the area. The apparent level of intoxication of the subject. Along with other factors.

This is a clear case of excessive force, despite all the keyboard badass' interpretations.

Self defense means you win.
